My dear friends, Darlene, Shirley, and Vernita, and I had such a fun day working on our beading projects and getting inspired by each others’ works-of-art. Working through the morning into the afternoon, we beaded, ate, snacked, giggled, and received help and learned new things from our beading teach, Darlene. Wished I had taken pics of their completed projects. Well, next time I will, and surely there will be a next time! We checked out the beading catalog and put together an order for our next beading projects. I love these girls and the time we get to spend together. A big “thank you” to Shirley for hosting our fun-filled day.

My Project:

both the necklace and bracelet completed.
Made with #11 Crystal Beige 201A seed beads and
4mm Swarovski AB Bicones in Smoked Topaz.
